Verdict
None of these enter the fray in form though Brophies Doll produced a better effort at Wincanton last month and wouldn't need much more. Kentford Mallard has been running poorly over fences while Mrsgrey's only decent run came on good going. MIDNIGHTREFLECTION has a big weight to carry though her rider's claim will help. She's competed in Class 3 handicaps in her last three starts and this represents a big drop in grade so she's handed the vote. Backoftheenvelope represents Dan Skelton and makes her handicap debut but hasn't shown much nor has Madam Malina, another having her first handicap start.
